I know we have (All, Owned, Ordered, and Wish) list's, but a Watched list would be useful.

Or like a lot of us...use "Tags" assign a tag "Watched" filter either those you have / or those you haven't.

I personally don't see Watched as a tab being that useful. In my opinion Owned, Ordered and Wishlist is all physical stages of your collection... whether it is watched or not isn't.

What I personally do for this is created an Unwatched tag (which you can filter on) plus I have a small simple Last Watched html window showing the last time I watched it. That definitely takes care of all my watched tracking needs. Well almost all anyway.

you can already filter watched titles, so not really a need for replicating functionality if you ask me.

I agree, I use the program to mark it as watched. Then I can see this at a glance in my dvd list window. No need for tags etc.

You can also include Last Watched as a column into the collection list and sort by it. So there is really no need for a tab.

No... it is such a basic simple thing I didn't bother posting it. All it is..

Quote:
<HTML>
<BODY bgcolor="#97b9e9" scroll="auto">
<center><font size="+1">Last Watched On: <DP NAME="LAST_WATCHED_ON"</center>
</BODY>
</HTML>


I have the background color and font size to look good with my settings... so you may want to change those.

Yeah... I  knew about this... but never liked how it looked in my list like that... which is why I opted for an html window.

Yeah, I came back to this thread to say I'd figured it out. But thanks for the help.

I asked this following question about a year ago and got negative results,, BUT  DO you use the Watched List for movies that you see:  all of??  or most of?  ,but IS NOT physically from your library??

In other words, I may see most of,, or all of ..say.. Psycho on A&E  or TBS etc,, or even at a friends house from the weekend. I then make sure I tick the watched box for the same title in my own library so months or years from now I can see when was the last time I actually saw that film..

DO others do the SAME??  use the watched list for titles you watch on TV  or just your own DVD's??

Just for what I own on DVD...or Blu-ray.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Personally I only mark them watched in profiler  Only when I watch them on DVD.

I use the watched feature to list only the DVD's I have watched, even when I purchase a TV series that I have already seen on TV when it was broadcasted I will still sit and watch the DVD(s) before ticking it off. But that's me.

Steve

Edit. If it's a film that I watch around a mates house then if I have the same DVD I will tick it off.

Which then begs the situation.., If a DVD of yours has features and commentarys and extras., do you watch those as well?, and if so.., how is it marked off that you have..??
I for one have maybe 40 - 60% of my library's audio commentary, or 'secondary disc' features  that I haven't heard nor seen, not that I don't want to,, but I have failed to figure out exactly how I am going to 'report'  or 'watched listed'  this..
Tags would be okay.. But 'watched' is even better.

Here is an area that will need 'tweaking'  for the imagined  4.0 release next October..
